Ηellenic Art Therapists’ Association - HATA Founded in 2005. www.arttherapists.gr
The Training program is only private. It is offered in Art and Psychotherapy Centre (A.P.C.) in Athens, established in 1990.
The program aims to provide professional training and proficiency in Art Psychotherapy to psychologists, psychiatrists, teachers, special education teachers, social workers and artists. Through theory, practice and personal development it provides a capacity to undertake preventive, advisory or therapeutically children, adolescents and adults, with any kind of disorder, along with people who want to come in touch with their creativity and express their potentials.
The post graduate training in art psychotherapy leads to a Certificate of Specialization in Art Psychotherapy from the Arts and Psychotherapy Center, which has been accredited by the European Association of Psychotherapy (E.A.P.).
The program offers a chance of post graduate level training for people who have already a degree in Social Sciences from a University or a Technical School or a degree in Fine Arts.
Training is based on the psycho therapeutic principles through Art. The basic goal is to provide trainees with the knowledge of the clinical application of Art Therapy, in which the use of artistic materials and the procedure of creating images, play a central role within the framework of the therapeutic relationship.
